Iowa at Maryland

The Iowa Hawkeyes have a 5-1 record on the season, but I don't think we have seen the best of what this team has to offer yet. There has always been a constant with this team and that is defense. The Hawkeyes always defend, and this year has been no exception as they enter play with a defense that ranks #26 in fewest yards allowed per game. Coach Randy Edsall has his team off to a good start at 4-2, but they have been exposed by the good teams they have faced like West Virginia and Ohio State who humiliated them in their last game. The Terps are 0-2 ATS in the role of a favorite vs. FBS opponents after closing last year 1-4 ATS as a favorite, making them 1-6 ATS in their last seven, and they certainly have been a bit overrated. Iowa has been one of the strongest road teams in the country recently as they are a perfect 8-0 ATS in their last eight on the road, and that includes 6-0 ATS in their last six on the road vs. a team with a winning home record. This one will be tight, so grab the points and play on Iowa.
